Move selection to end of line in Safari text area

Normally, when you are editing text, Command-Right Arrow will move you to the end of a line of text, and Command-Shift-Right Arrow will select to the end of a line of text.

However, in Safari, Command-Shift-Right Arrow will select the next tab (or do nothing if you only have one tab open). To work around this, use Control-Shift-Right Arrow instead. Similarly for Command-Shift-Left Arrow, use Control-Shift-Left Arrow.

I don't know how Command-Shift-Arrow works if you have tabs disabled, but everybody uses tabs anyway, right?

It is also possible to move the cursor to the beginning with ctrl+a and to the end with ctrl-e just like in bash or tcsh. I found these combinations work in many if not all cocoa programs. However, it does not work together with shift to expand selections.
